The hydrogen created as a byproduct at Nippon Steel Corp.’s Yahata Plant in Kitakyushu will be used in fuel cells that do not emit CO2. Those fuel cells will in turn be used by Shin Nippon Homes and an NPO in a business enterprise for power generation in a seven-unit apartment house currently under construction in the city. It is the first time in Japan for hydrogen from a factory to be reused to generate power in a residential unit. Occupancy of the apartments could begin as early as this year.
